Some Linux/UNIX OS vendors have kindly provided binary packages of
KDE 3.5.8 for some versions of their distribution, and in other cases
community volunteers have done so.
Some of these binary packages are available for free download from KDE's
http or
FTP mirrors.

openSUSE
The openSUSE KDE packages will be publicly developed in the openSUSE project from
now on. This means that the packages are no longer available via the
supplementary tree from ftp.suse.com, but via the Build Service repositories
from openSUSE. Please read this page for
installation instructions.
